A Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, the capital of Zamfara State on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 declined the request for an exparte order sought by a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to allow for the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Party earlier scheduled to hold on Thursday, October 24, to take place.
Forefront News had reported that the PDP Governors’ Forum chaired by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, was seeking an exparte order to ensure the NEC meeting holds to pave way for the forum to have their way in the ongoing feud for the control of the party.
Court documents made available to Forefront News indicated that the request for an exparte order was filed at about 8.30am on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 by one Imam Auwal, a member of PDP in Gusau.
The PDP Governors’ Forum wanted to ignore the Order of a Federal High Court in Abuja barring the party from removing its Acting National chairman, Amb. Umar Damagum.
Ruling on the motion for the exparte order on Tuesday, Justice Salim Ibrahim, declined granting the order and adjourned the case till Friday, October 25, 2024.
